“When in season, Lily Lodge has spectacular large peonies in deep crimson and brilliant white. Occasionally they have Japanese anemones or tree peonies. We are particularly fond of the magnificent garden roses as well, but what really sets Lily Lodge apart is their presentation. Just as you would instantly recognize the orange Hermès box, Lily Lodge packages their arrangements in a chic embossed hunter-green box. The stems are always beautifully laid out and wrapped in tissue paper.” —Kathleen Clements, Kathleen Clements Design

“If I’m sending flowers to a friend, I go to Renny & Reed. I’ve never met a flower I didn’t like. To me it’s all about the appropriateness of how they’re used. I usually like flower arrangements to be shades of one color, and if I’m not sure of someone’s color scheme, I always send white.” —Bunny Williams, Bunny Williams Inc.
